Claudia Guthrie

After a diverse career in Tourism, Hotel Management, and Education, I joined Morris & Morris Funerals in 2018.  I look after our Dargaville and Kaipara communities.  Originally from Austria, I made Aotearoa my home and have lived happily at Baylys Beach for almost 30 years now, thus qualifying me to be almost a ‘local’! Throughout my career, regardless of which work role I’ve been in, for me, it is about people.  I strive to learn, understand, empower and support people and individual needs.  As a Funeral Director assisting and guiding families through one of the hardest times of their life is a privilege and an extremely rewarding experience.  I work on the principle that nothing is too much trouble, I strive to create an environment of genuine care for every family.  I hold the National Diploma in Funeral Directing and also a current practising certificate issued by the Funeral Directors Association of NZ.
